Before Joey could say anything, Otis laughed smugly. “That’s right, I’m the one who did it! What can you do about it?” Joey frowned. Otis was really brainless. What if Philip had a recorder on him or something? Otis sneered as he knocked the steel baseball bat in his hand and said, “Damn it, you're lucky you didn't burn to death. How dare you come here? I’m telling you, don’t f*cking think of stepping out of this door today. I’m going to kill you right here!” When Otis said that, the 20 to 30 thugs around were already eager to make a move. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past! Before Otis could react, Philip was already in front of him. He jumped and kicked Otis right in the face! Otis immediately flew out and slammed into the back of the office door before he fell heavily to the floor. He covered his mouth, coughed hard, and spat out two front teeth. Everyone was stunned! Philip lifted his foot, patted the dust off his pants, and said coldly, “If you want to
Philip smiled and said, “Whether it’s a bluff or not, you’ll find out soon enough. I advise you to take this opportunity to kneel and apologize for your crime. I might consider granting you a way out. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend the rest of your life in prison.” “Oh? Haha, you stinking brat, still pretending to be cocky, aren’t you? Do you think you can scare me? And you even want me to spend time in prison?! You think you’re so awesome, huh?” Otis said. Now that the boss was in Philip’s hands, he dared not move recklessly. As soon as the boss was out of danger, he would definitely kill Philip the first chance he got! Philip sneered and slowly sipped on his tea. Joey was in an awkward position. As Philip was sitting and the position was fairly low, he could only squat next to him because his neck was being grabbed by Philip. The sight of him like this was too lowly. Joey Cullen was about to go crazy with anger! Joey Brewery was considered one of the three large
“Where did the dirt on your hands come from? Manager Cullen, don’t tell me you fell into the mud? Philip asked coldly. Jacky was instantly flustered and quickly defended himself, saying, “Chairman Clarke, I tripped and fell down just now.” “If you fell, why isn’t your body dirty?” Philip said. “This…” Jacky stuttered and could not complete a full sentence. “Let me tell you what happened, Manager Cullen. This is the dirt from the vase which you threw from the window, wanting to smash it over my head, right?” When Philip said this, his voice sounded like muffled thunder and the cold light in his eyes kept flickering. Jacky fell on his knees with a loud thud! “Chairman Clarke, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. Joey, help me plead with him!” Jacky said to Joey. His cousin was his last ray of hope. Joey frowned, took a deep breath, and looked at Victor, saying, “Victor, we’ve never crossed paths before today. You’ve now captured my cousin and brought so many people to caus
As soon as Philip said that, Joey, Otis, and the others could not help chuckling. Those words sounded like wishful thinking! Was Philip Clarke not right in the head? Why would the alcohol sellers refuse to buy their cheap and premium alcohol that was produced locally? That would be no different from asking them to bear losses. Even if Philip knew Victor and had a bit of money, could he restrict the entire alcohol industry in Uppercreek? Joey said, “Okay, I’ll make this bet with you today! If you can do it, I’ll reverse my name from now today onward!” Philip smiled lightly and said, “As you wish!” With that said, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. “You!” The veins on Joey’s forehead throbbed with anger. He wanted to step forward but Victor and his men stood next to him like Philip’s protectors. Joey could only give up. This was also why Philip stopped keeping Joey hostage after Victor showed up. After so many events, Philip had put more trust in Victor by
Joey’s hands trembled as the phone fell to the floor. What was going on? Just now, the other party had still called him a buddy and wanted to help him settle things. Now, he wanted to end all cooperation just like that? Breaking off all cooperation in the business world was no different from severing a friendship! Joey and Mr. Saunders had known each other for more than ten years, but their relationship was severed just like that? Moreover, he did it in such a hurry without even a proper farewell—just like a scumbag on a one-night stand! Joey stood dumbfounded on the spot! He recalled what Mr. Saunders had just said, he was in deep trouble. Joey unconsciously glanced at Philip. Philip was looking at Joey with a face full of amusement. Joey’s temper flared as he picked up the phone and dialed another number. “Hello, Mr. Cooke, I’m Joey Cullen—” “Oh, Joey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but we won’t need the goods for this month. Please refund the order, and we won’t
“So, you’re…” Joey no longer dared to be impudent at this time and stammered. Philip smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m the young master of that Clarke family. Just a young master, don’t think too much.” Joey fell to his knees with a thud. When he first worked as a liquor merchant back then, he had witnessed the devastating power of the Clarke family! However, he heard that it was only done by a very inconspicuous person under the Clarke family. They were not surnamed Clarke but just working for the Clarke family. Now, a certain young master of the Clarke family was standing right in front of him. No wonder he could mobilize half of Uppercreek in such a short time. Not to mention Uppercreek but he could probably even mobilize half of South River if he wanted to! Joey quickly bowed and knocked his head on the floor until his forehead was almost bleeding. “Young Master Clarke, please forgive me! I didn’t know it was you! It’s that bastard Jacky Cullen who made me do this
“Give him a good beating before tossing him back to Bernard Johnston!” Philip said coldly. “Philip, no way, you can’t do this to me! I’m Wynn’s cousin!” Liam had gone totally limp at this point. Seeing Victor and the others surrounding him, his knees went weak as he knelt on the spot. “Brother-in-law, I’m begging you, please forgive me this time. I won’t dare to do it again!” With that said, he even knocked his forehead on the floor! However, everything was in vain. What awaited him would be a storm of violent bashing! … Ten minutes later, Liam was limp on the floor. It was an unbearable sight. His face was already swollen like a pig’s head. Philip glanced at him blandly and said to Victor, “Send him to Bernard Johnston and tell him that this is just a small warning. If they still don't know how to hold themselves back after this, I won't give them another chance!” After saying that, Philip left Joey Brewery. As for Joey Cullen, Jacky Cullen, and the rest, they were
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you bring him out? You’re not planning to accept him, are you?” While saying that, Joy glanced at Wynn’s stomach helplessly. She knew that Wynn was pregnant. At first, she even urged her to get an abortion. After all, if Wynn carried another child, she and Philip would really be inseparable. How could Joy bear to watch her best friend live a miserable life with a loser? Wynn smiled like a peach blossom and said, “Joy, you’ve misunderstood. Philip has changed and is no longer the Philip from before.” With that said, Wynn looked back at Philip with love and tenderness in her eyes. Joy shook her head speechlessly and said, “My goodness, what’s wrong with this world? You actually accepted him?!” Wynn rolled her eyes at her before dragging her into the department store. Joy was helpless and could only compromise for now. All was good as long as her best friend could live happily. She wondered what drug Philip had given her! Joy Cabot was the
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
